To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, l lnnnn'r (hiArllli, a citizen of the United St ates, and a resident of New Orleans, in the parish of Orhans i and State of Louisiana, have invented rertain new and useful Improrements in lilrctrical Switches, of which the following: a specification.

This invention relates to an electrical switch.

As is well known jacks and plugs are commonly employed in wireless tclegral'ilrv for establishing (,Olll'lOt'llOll lltlttttll the re ceiving circuit and dilii'rent amplil'yin riacuits 0r detector cirriiits. is iiston withdraw the plug; from inn ltltiC insert it. in another jail: for including tlw circuits desired with the rowirtr.

obvious the lapse of (into om'urrin t: the transferring of the plug; tin (l 03w i i to another will resul in tin low ot' FtX' t'Hl letters and possibly a word at the l'tit'l\l',

With the above in view it is the ll it 'i ot' the present invention to :iHs-ni'izitv :i plug with a plurality of jacks in slit-h a tit: .iltl' that the Contact end of the plug Inn; hr swung for est-alilishinfr liltll\l ii l June-=- tion with either of the in Illiwith for operating the. same ill rm .tn 1 quick manner, and there y rt 1- Elm lapse of tune in Slllii'llltf i n jack to another to it until It is also an olijrci oi the inwutiwu that the plug be adapted to in) tt iltHttl [wow it; mounting and another ping oi hi i structure substituted lll "it i'nr 7 permitting a nunilir-r oi l lit'ii tir to he w nnerted and operated hi the same swirh or the set of jacks.

Other objects and objects relating to illtails of i-nnstrurtion, combination and ar rungenient of parts will licri'inal'ter appear in the detailed description to foll w.

The inner ends oi the p i. tacting lingers 18 terminate in a (ltn emeritly and then upwardly bent tip portion while the fingers 19 thereheueath erminin :1 similar portion as :n' 26, which humopposes the tip 25. as shown, ani wh l disposed slightly for 'aril to the nssn hm tip 31!. llach upper anil lowrr plug w tinting linger is also l'orniiwl willa piirzz 1.37 which is adapted to normally "(Nita-fl, with its associated supplemental sprirg if and establish an electrirel connection fl rt,"- wlth.

Upon the sleeve there i a tubular handle member 31, the rear 7 i which abuts the enlargement 30 and its ward end abuts the screw collar tlirmuiwl upon the sleeve as shown. The sleew or ug member 28 is also recessed as at 33 and. in the forward end of the sleeve there pr sitioned a tubular insulating member 3-? which is cut away as at 35 to eorres'pmnl wk r h the recess 33 of the sleeve 28. The nuuuiww 34 is of insulating material and has (i is pe therein a stem 36 which terminates :u; it 1 ward end in a ball 37. To the rear end oi the stem 36 there is suitably coruuwtmil 1': wire 38 by the means of a screw and at to the sleeve or plug portion 28 there is: -i uilarly connected a second wire 40. The win: 40 and 38 extend through the rear tu-l the plug member 28, and the lu-ishhu: l threaded in said rear end of the plug m n:- ber and then extended in a cable 41 In the use of the present switch urmngr v ment the plug B may be connected to u. irceiver in a wireless a paratus. i 3M rv stated the jacks A may e connected with nu amplifying and detector circuits l-iua'i: jack A may be utilized for establi hing one or more circuits and maintaining tliniu closed if desired, that is, a circuit miglu connected and maintained closed tlnougu the top finger spring 18 and its await-11ml rircuii may be maintained closed hroughtluwr finger 19 and the remaining supplenui spring finger 2Q.
